Neurotechnology
From bioelectronic medicine that treat chronic diseases, to brain-computer interfaces that help stroke rehabilitation, neurotechnology will play an increasingly important role in meeting some of the challenges of an ageing society.
The UK already has a world leading research base in neurotechnology. The Neurotechnology Innovation Network (formerly SIG) will help transfer knowledge from academia to this fast-growing industry sector and provides a vital meeting place between clinicians and technologists. The aims of the network are to grow the neurotechnology community and accelerate innovation through cross-sector collaborations.
Sign up to Innovate UK KTN’s mailing list or join our Neurotechnologies LinkedIn group for regular updates, thought leadership papers and networking opportunities.
We have developed a Neurotechnology landscape map to highlight the universities, research organisations, companies, charities and investors that are working in this area.

Neurotechnology Landscape
Neurotechnology is the application of electronics and engineering to the human nervous system and ranges from the measurement of the whole brain through technologies such as electroencephalography to the stimulation of a single nerve using bioelectronic medicines.
Health Funding Map
The map was developed by Innovate UK KTN and the BioIndustry Association (BIA) with the help of a wide range of funders. It helps in the navigation of the complicated world of health innovation funding.
